• Submit invoices through customer billing portals when required

• Resolve rejected invoices, billing disputes, and customer correction requests

• Maintain billing trackers and organized supporting documentation

• Support month-end billing reconciliations and reporting

• Coordinate with Accounts Receivable on invoice adjustments, credits, and outstanding balances

What We’re Looking For

• 2–3+ years of recent billing experience

• Experience in industrial services, construction, mechanical contracting, maintenance, field services, or a similar project-based environment

• Hands-on experience with project billing and supporting documentation

• Strong understanding of purchase orders, job costing, labor rates, and billing requirements

• Ability to independently research and resolve billing discrepancies
